Gastrointestinal tuberculosis that is not an unusual form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and it is usually associated with immunocompromised condition that may present with clinical symptoms including fever, weight loss or pain. Terminal ileum and cecum are the common sites of involvement, but involvement of the stomach is rare. Furthermore, synchronous tuberculosis involving both the stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract has been reported in very few cases. Herein, we report a case of incidentally detected synchronous tuberculosis involving both the stomach and terminal ileum that was successfully treated by antituberculosis therapy in an asymptomatic immunocompetent patient.

Immuno-combined treatment versus radio-combined treatment in limited-stage small-cell lung cancer.
Ther Adv Med Oncol
December 2024
Department of Oncology, Beijing Tuberculosis and Thoracic Tumor Research Institute, Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 9 Beiguan Street, Tongzhou District, Beijing 101149, China.
Background: Although the approval of immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) has significantly improved the patient's prognosis, synchronous chemoradiotherapy has always been the standard treatment for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
Objectives: Immuno-combined and radio-combined therapy in LS-SCLC has been applied in clinical practice, but what is the best for LS-SCLC?
Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with LS-SCLC from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively screened and divided into three groups according to the initial treatment regimen whether included immune-combined and radio-combined treatment.
A stochastic model for the bacterial growth exhibiting staged growth, desynchronization, saturation and persistence.

We consider a model of population growth based on the stochastic variation of the population size-controlled duplication of bacterial cells. It is shown that the proper choice of the control function allows for reproducing a variety of regimes: a logistic growth with saturation, a hindered growth typical for persistent bacterial systems, and a linear population growth detected for some mycobacterial populations. When supplied with the rectangular function having the width equal to the generation time, this approach represents the solution generalizing Rubinow's age-maturity model reproducing systems with desynchronization and saturation.

Department of Surgery, AIIMS, New Delhi, India.
Background: Coexisting parathyroid adenoma, thyroid carcinoma, and tuberculosis of thyroid is a very rare phenomenon. Primary thyroid tuberculosis is itself very rare despite high global prevalence of tuberculosis in developing countries. Majority of thyroid tuberculosis identified in postoperative histopathology or cytopathology.

This systematic review aimed to assess the association between video-observed therapy (VOT) and treatment adherence among TB patients and the benefits and limitations of this treatment modality. The systematic review used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow guideline. Multiple databases including Cochrane, Lilacs, PubMed, Scopus, Lancet, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ), and BMC were employed to identify relevant articles published between 2012 and 2024.

Article Synopsis
- - Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are diverse tumors from neuroendocrine cells, with about 30% causing hormone-related syndromes that can significantly impact patient health beyond the tumor size itself.
- - A 49-year-old male patient with an ileal NEN exhibited concurrent VIP and serotonin release, leading to a severe diarrhea syndrome after receiving peptide-radio-receptor therapy, despite ongoing medical treatments.
- - As traditional treatment options were no longer effective, an off-label use of racecadotril helped manage the patient's condition, allowing him to leave the ICU after five days of treatment.
